The implications of the Rose Bowl renovation funding gap

Share

The 2010 proposed renovations to the Rose Bowl have ballooned in costs to $177-million dollars, $25 million more than the original price tag. Facing a current funding gap of over $37 million, published reports say Rose Bowl officials are considering postponing $14 million worth of the planned remodel until more funding can be secured.

With private donations, public bond interest, and BCS championship revenues all being funneled into the project, is the Rose Bowl remodel turning into a murky black hole where monies public and private are sunk, never to be seen again?
